Description

Please read instructions before assembly. Instructions include a list of material and specs of the magnets used as well as ideal part orientation for printing and how to assemble the parts together. 

Make sure your printer is tuned to deal with elephants foot on your first layer. This may cause issues with a few parts not fitting well together. If anyone is having issues with their Key2 not fit well into top lid, adjust your initial layer horizontal expansion value. And for those Cura users, I recommend that you change your slicing tolerance to “Exclusive." This setting is listed under experimental settings.

I printed all of the parts with 10% infill at 0.2mm layer height. The only part that requires supports is the “Trap Door.”
